Great burgers and hot dogs. Extensive and tasty vegetarian menu. Amazingly wide selection of beers.Vegetarian options: Entire vegetarian version of the menu that can also largely be customized to be vegan. Also, lots of vegan "meat" options from the Herbivorous Butcher.

This establishment is very niche and cute, with walls covered with dog art from the floor to the crown mold ceiling. They missed a market by not having this place be dog-friendly, but this is a fast-paced restaurant and bar so I understand. I saw 2 separate customers come in with dogs because they assumed they were welcome.The service was subpar, unfortunately. I asked for truffle tots for an app, server said ‘Do you want it as a side for your meal instead?’ and me and my partner said “No, we’re gonna share it to start. I stated I just wanted the burger I chose and she basically made me order one of the $4 sides lol.My burger comes out, and I can tell before biting it was pink. I wasn’t asked how I wanted it cooked, so I assumed that they knew what they were doing. The patty also isn’t seasoned much. Later that night, unfortunately my body rejected the food from both ends, I was very ill for 24hrs. I have never gotten sick from a burger before so I was sad!The real MVP of the place was the food runner. This gent could carry 2 large trays at once over his head, baskets stacked on his arm, weaving past people, and got the right items to the correct folk.I would recommend this place as a hot spot to get amazing beer and sit at the bar with friends and be unbothered by wait staff.

I love the atmosphere! I think it's really cute and fun so you want to be there. I enjoyed my food, especially the bourbon brown butter slider, the different types of seasoned fries aren't necessary it doesn't add much, but the onion rings were good and any place that serves onion rings with BBQ sauce knows what's up. The drinks are also good. I would definitely pop in for a drink again, just maybe not food because my friend didn't enjoy their food and got food poisoning from the raw burger he was served but felt too bad to send back. I love that they have a full vegetarian menu, and it is basically identical and maybe he'd have better luck with that.

I did not intend to leave a review for this place (hence the no photos), but it was such a letdown that I felt the need to.The decor and atmosphere are excellent, and their beer selection is quite solid. I really enjoy the area it’s in, but we had such a poor experience last night that I hesitate to try it again.The host was courteous and sat us promptly, but the server was nonexistent. We had to ask the host if we even had a server, and we also had to get our own ketchup and silverware. After 15-20 minutes, the server nonchalantly made his way to our table and asked us what we wanted. He was not necessarily rude, but he was not polite, and he barely spoke.We got the food and it was decent. If I were rating the place based on its food and atmosphere, I would give it a 3.5 or a 4. The truffle fries lacked flavor, our burger buns were soggy, and the fried chicken was very salty. Unfortunately, the service (or lack thereof) brings it down to a two. I would not recommend coming here if you’re looking for a pleasant dining experience, but it could be a solid choice if you want to sit at the bar and order some drinks.The dog portraits on the wall and the images of local dogs in the entryway are charming and fun, but again, the service may be the worst we have ever experienced in the NE neighborhood.

I had a burger, onion rings, and tatertots. It was pretty good. It ran about $30 for these 3 things.Parking: The parking is paid on street parking. You have to find a place to park. If you are getting a ride, then no worries.

My bourbon burger was excellent, my fries were mediocre bar fries. Tater tots were good, but the BIG LET DOWN was the chili cheese dog my girl was so excited to get. She received it and the bun had half disintegrated already. Fairly certain it was the water from the hot dog not being shaken off so it just melted the bun. Quite disappointing. She recommended something about grilling the bun too for more structural integrity.

They are performing some fraud here- staff altered my tip amount. Check your card statements after leaving this place.

I'm a cat person and I still adored this restaurant! I brought my partner and her sibling here for a late lunch on a Tuesday and it wasn't super busy but I really enjoyed that because I was able to take lots of pictures of this cute place! The menu is HUGE! One side is full of regular meals and the other side is completely vegetarian with vegan options. Staff was also happy to tell us what did and didn't have vegan options. We also loved seeing a trans flag. To top it off the food was incredibly delicious too! 10/10 Reccomend!Vegetarian options: They basically have an entire vegetarian version of their menu. It's great!Parking: Parking on the street was fine around 2PM on Tuesday and cost less than $2.
